What I Think:

I personally can’t believe The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is still ranking in the top 20 best selling Nintendo Switch games nearly 5 years (that’s half a decade) after its release.

On the other hand, it is one of the best games of all time and a bucket list game you must play in your lifetime.

It definitely deserves to keep ranking even after its sequel finally is released.


The Top 3 Picks Up the Week

Here are my suggestions for the top 3 games you should play from this list.

1) Among Us

Among Us is a great, little online-only strategy game that focuses heavily on social interaction.

I’ve had so much ridiculous fun playing this with my good friend and spouse over weekend play sessions.

What do you do in Among Us?

Solve puzzles and fix a broken space craft as a killer hides among the group.

Can you guess who the killer is before everyone ends up dead? Find out with friends and strangers in this popular title.

2) Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun

Drum away with button, motion, or physical drums in this fun rhythm game.

Fans of Nintendo GameCube’s Donkey Konga series will find the gameplay familiar as the same company developed both titles.

Simply press buttons to the rhythm of the beat in order obtain high scores and master songs.

I’ve had a blast playing over 70 great songs by myself, and the game even supports up to 4 players in party mode.

There’s a lot to love in this music game.

3) Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2

Skate across iconic levels and score big points while completing goals in this HD remaster of two of the best arcade gameplay games ever made.

The Nintendo Switch version of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 includes all the features, levels, songs, characters, and goals and is content complete.

Skate however you like in this fun title for up to 8 players that even includes online matches and modes.
